2. Figure 1
Adjusted odds ratios for in-hospital mortality, women vs. men, in the 7 diagnostic groups and the total cohort before (gray) and after (black) inclusion of DNR status in the model. Odds ratios were consistently lower when DNR status was included in the model. DNR = do-not-resuscitate orders, COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

3. Figure 2
Adjusted odds ratios for in-hospital mortality, non-whites vs. whites, in the 7 diagnostic groups and the total cohort before (gray) and after (black) inclusion of DNR status in the model. Odds ratios were consistently greater when DNR status was included in the model. DNR = do-not-resuscitate orders, COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
